The March of Dimes today announced it has awarded its Healthy Babies Healthy Business Seal of Approval to Ent Federal Credit Union. This is the second time this award has been presented in southern Colorado.

The Healthy Babies Healthy Business Seal of Approval recognizes commitment to providing a pregnancy- and family-friendly work environment. To be certified, companies must meet 14 standards (established by the National Business Group on Health) and document specifically what they provide within the workplace to lead to healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. The application process includes providing information about health education offered to employees, work environment qualities, scheduling flexibility and health insurance coverage.

Examples of the standards include: encouraging early and continuing prenatal care; providing a workplace that is smoke-, drug- and toxin-free; offering reasonable physical accommodation for pregnant employees; and, allowing time off for health appointments.

The seal of approval is one facet of the March of Dimes Healthy Babies Healthy Business program. This workplace wellness initiative provides a range of resources for employees including health education and access to online support. The free program is available in both English and Spanish.

“We congratulate Ent for earning this designation,” said Kathryn Marshall, State Director of the March of Dimes Colorado/Wyoming Chapter. “They understand and are committed to the long-range benefits of providing a healthy work environment for their employees. We hope other businesses are inspired by Ent’s vision.”

Marshall added, “Helping moms have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies is just good sense. Two million working women will have babies this year, and infant and maternal care can be a bigger expenditure for employers after the fact than it needs to be.”

“We strive to be an employer of choice in Colorado by offering a workplace and work culture that attracts and retains superior employees. At Ent, this includes fostering a family-friendly and pregnancy-friendly workplace,” said Barbara Winter, Ent’s executive vice president of organizational resources. “We are pleased to accept this award from the March of Dimes and thank them for recognizing Ent’s efforts to support our employees in having healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.”
